Workshop on

Knowledge Transactions

Knowledge is perceived and understood differently according to the context
and purpose of tasks at hand. Libraries and Information centres have been
involved in knowledge transactions in the sense of organization of
collections, systems leading to context based indexing and techniques in
handling and representing knowledge. In the digital information world
representation models are increasingly based on traditional and
theoretical foundations of knowledge transactions. Legacy methods based on
principles of Knowledge Organization are now being adapted for Knowledge
conceptualizations and representation and developing representation
languages, knowledge architecture and structures. At the same time
knowledge modeling using popular W3C-SKOS, NKOS and RDFs are being
implemented especially to structure, organize and manage information
resources. Documentation Research and Training Centre, Indian Statistical
Institute, announces a seminar on 'Knowledge Transactions' to bring
